TROLLING MOTOR AND SONAR DEVICE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL
Abstract:
Example steering control systems and methods for multiple devices are provided herein. A system includes a trolling motor assembly having a propulsion motor and a steering actuator and a sonar assembly comprising a transducer assembly and a directional actuator. The system further includes a user input assembly that is configured to detect user activity related to controlling operation of the trolling motor assembly and operation of the sonar assembly. The system further includes a processor that is configured to determine a direction of turn based on user activity, generate an electrical turning input signal indicating the direction of turn, and direct either one or both of the steering actuator and the directional actuator, via the turning input signal, to adjust a direction of either one or both of the propulsion motor and the transducer assembly accordingly.
